No. 4 Casts Rehearse for First Night Performance of the Two-Edged Sword, Dec, 3 Maria Luiza Guimaraes Mundelein Is Tops Says Freshman from Brazil Life in a skyscraper college in the United States is undoubtedly different, and thrilling, according to Maria Luiza Guimaraes, slender, dark-eyed fresh man from Brazil, who takes keen de light in learning the English language in her classes and its collegiate variations from her fellow resident students. Friendliness, yes, she declares, it is the politeness and the friendliness of the Mundelein girls that I like, and that keeps me from being too lonesome. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Miss Gui maraes is at home in that picturesque city, but her travels have led her to Portugal. France. Mexico, the United States, and Canada. From the time she first learned that :he wide world extended far away be yond her own southern home. Miss Guimaraes has longed to travel, to meet people of other countries, and to learn foreign languages. In addition to her native Brazilian, she speaks French fluently, having spent i year studying in Switzerland, and she llready understands English. In her tour of the United States this summer. Miss Guimaraes was especially impressed with the rapid transportati n available throughout the country and with the wide curving highways that girdle the states. Chicago's department stores she finds fascinating in their variety of merchan dise, since stores in Brazil carry only one type of goods. The plan of streets in Chicago she finds novel, loo, and con venient, since streets in Brazil are nat urally laid, and not planned in regular blocks. But occasionally a longing for home and for someone who speaks her native Brazlian overcomes ibis interesting freshman who thereupon calls long dis tance and speaks her rapid Latin tongue with her elder brother, a junior in the engineering school at the University of Illinois. Ordinarily, however, her classes, the fascinating history and travel hooks in the library, and the delightful unex pectedness of the college elevators pro vide Miss Guimaraes with absorbing interests and justify her conclusion that college life in this country is won derful. and Mundelein is what is it you say tops': Dr. Paul Furfey Urges Catholic Social Reform Urging a Catholic Revolution to be accomplished through a more perfect ad herence to ihe principles of Christ, Dr. Paul Furfey, acting head of the de partment of sociology at the Catholic University of America and author of the widely discussed book Fire On The Earth, addressed the student convoca tion yesterday at 1 o'clock. Dr. Furfey suggested as ihe best means for accomplishing this revolution mass action, through collective bargaining, so cial legislation, and organized charity; and personalized action, through the in troduction of Tightness in our social and economic relations, a more exact imi tation of Christ, and devotion to poverty. The domination of pagan principles in contemporary society, as evidenced in economic equality, discrimination against the Negro, and the occurence of the World War, are sufficient impetus, Dr. Furfey believes, for the launching of such a revolution. The introduction of a supernatural system of social thought and ideals is the ultimate aim of the revolution; its immediate aim, however, js the instilla tion in the hearts of men of that sim plicity which is counsed in the Papal En cyclical, DlVlNI ReiiEMI'TORIS.

Auto Show Horns in On Sheridan Road Traffic Chicago's great auto show comes once a year, dazzles the city accustomed as it is to dazzling spectacles and then dissolves. Mundelc'in's great auto show comes, not once a year, but every day; and while it may not be a dazzling spectacle it has the virtue of being al ways with us. Every morning, starting about 7:4S, cars begin to detach themselves from the traffic on Sheridan Road and find space in neat rows in the college park ing lot. Mundelein's auto show has be gun I And what other auto show can boast such a setting? Lake Michigan for a back drop, Sheridan Road for an au dience, spacious houses set on sloping lawns for scenery, and a skyscraper col lege to lend an atmosphere of modern intellectuality A sport model deluxe is the choice of the Fraser sisters a maroon '37 Dodge, with a top that may be lowered when spring breezes blow by. Georgette Thoss' green Studebaker and Virginia Newell's green Hudson pro vide the right flash of color in a rain bow display. Marjory Dunne's dark blue '36 Pack ard is a nice contrast for Miss Scanlan's tan Plymouth, and Margaret Weiland's gray '37 Ford blends with the Krez sisters' maroon '37 Ford and the Doody sisters' '37 Nash. In fashionable black arc the '37 Ply mouth driven by the Connell sisters, the '37 Pontiac of the Sayre sisters, the '37 Ford driven by Catherine Heerey, and the '37 Chevrolet Kay Johnson drives. A convertible cream-colored LaSallc '35, driven by Dorothy Foy, especially catches the eye, while a shiny maroon Buick, chauffeur unknown, is the despair of all who behold it.
